Hi, I'm in the midst of redesigning my portfolio site. It's http://www.commonbrand.com/
Please click on to phase I version as well as the old site.
I'd like to hear opinions as well as suggestions. Thanks.

i kinda like you rold site better.
that brown bg..the background image is not tiling correctly

i don't know about the combination of clarendon and univers. or maybe it's the different colors of the words in the headers (CilentList, EdvinLee)... maybe consider going all univers.
i would like that.
everything else looks nice.

phase one: strange combinations of typography and weird color scheme.
old site: way better overview - nice to look at - nice details etc etc

thanks guys. I've been kind of experimenting with they typography. I agree that using all Univers will be a lot cleaner. Will consider that.
also will redo the bg tile. It was something I downloaded quickly too.
thanks again. more comments and suggestions are welcomed.

I do like the old site a lot better too, so I'm not sure if I should do an updated version of the html site or continue to finish the phase one design?

I prefer the old one definitely. Better contrast, better structure, better looking.
I wouldnt change anything.

Hey piper,
I like the old site better too...
But maybe it's because youre still tooling around with the new one...I don't see a need to re-design tho...it looked nice.;)

i have to agree, old site takes the cake...the new one seems much less straight-forward, and confusing...i think the bg image needs to drop in opacity, its tough to ready on and to understand the nav...i would like to see the image chage when you go to different sections...and yeah, the index tile doesnt go at all with what you get in the popUp...but for what its worth, i dig the old site...!

Thanks for the comments. I think I'll take your advice and make a few modifications and improve the old one.
Thanks for all your great comments.

I've had that site for almost a year now, so I just wanted a new change.
Thanks guys. Tdot kind of rules.

Screw that.... I think for the type of work that you produce you should definately be moving towards this new site. It has a much more organic feel to it (clarendon being a nice choice) I think you're on too somthing here - it shows progression as a designer (in my eyes) and I wouldn't let anybody in here influence your vision of what looks good to you.

thanks tyler. I'll keep that in mind.
